Jabari should work with Hakeem on the dreamshake and post fadeaway.



Jabari has really been showing off his midrange and post shotmaking in Summer League. Hakeem has already worked with Sengun on his spin move. What if Hakeem worked with Jabari on his [dream shake](https://youtu.be/kv2eQztDA5M)? Jabari is showing a lot of great work in the midrange already:

[Quick turnaround jab step sells the drive for a jumper](https://youtu.be/XBsm9V88Ggk?t=60)

[Mini shake freezes defender and one dribble fadeaway](https://youtu.be/XBsm9V88Ggk?t=141)

[Simply fades away over two smaller defenders](https://youtu.be/XBsm9V88Ggk?t=168)

But I’ve noticed that he mostly uses his length to shoot over opponents, and his quick pull up to catch defenders off guard. He hasn’t been physical and putting his body into defenders to get them off balance like [this one hard dribble into the chest of the defender into a fade](https://youtu.be/AaQiDsYmSZo?t=46). This is something that I hope he adds as he gets stronger. He got this shot off [once last night with a little bump](https://youtu.be/XBsm9V88Ggk?t=46)

  1. Mr. Dream, sir, can you spare some discounted lessons to a young man on his rookie contract?

    I don’t want to be that guy but over the years we have had rockets work with Hakeem and not a single one has implemented the dream shake in a real way. If it helps defense and footwork though I’m all for it.

    Everybody’s foot work isn’t like the DREAM just ask Dwight Howard

    He’s got that Lamarcus Aldridge in him honestly. Just get down to the block and turn aroun over small guys. Doesn’t even need follow up moves lol

    I’m surprised that Jabari hasn’t already called up Dream to ask if he could work with him.
